I can’t think of a word to get O, L, N, and T all in with that E, but I feel like I need to try a second E, so I tried a few and hit on > LEON **E** β†’ Spaghetti westerns FTW! But not good for Wordle. Looks like I need to try a U in there, and a T, and I can try them both with > CH_U_T **E** β†’ Half-gone and only two letters, one placed. Y seems futile. Can I place the U somehow? Not seeing a word with two of 'em, so I’ll load up on consonants with > J **U** D_G_ **E** β†’ If I move the G over… Ah, there _was_ a word with two Us > **FUGUE** > > I had a potential trap with my fourth guess - there were three other possibles with different first letters, so that could have been a streakbuster right there. Scoredle decides (rightly) on its second guess that finding a U is more important than looking for a second E, and cuts one guess off my bogey for a tap-in par. ---
